GHETTO MENTALITY RULES!

I still haven't recovered from hearing Israel's political and military "elite" rulers (notice that I don't call them leaders) bragging that the great accomplishment of last summer's devastating war with our Arab "neighbors" was that we now have "foreign soldiers to guard us." What a pathetic, sorry excuse for a nation, when that's its aim.

Nowadays there are frequent articles, op-eds in the newspapers written by establishment "pundits" and tired politicians spouting ideas about which country should protect us. One of the latest and more absurd ideas, this time from Meretz MKs Avshalom Vilan and Zahava Gal-On, that the Arab League should take responsibility for the Gaza Strip.

Two things:
  • How is this supposed to protect us, when they don't like us any more than the Pseudistinians do?
  • And do you really think that the members of the Arab League want to fight the terrorists and make "order" in the Gaza Strip?

Of course, the Left never lets common sense get in the way of their ideology, and they think the religious are strange. Can you make any sense out of this? Here's an excerpt; for the complete article, click this.

1. No country in the world would sit around and watch one of its cities being bombarded for six years, powerless to bring the violence to an end. 2. With all due respect to the Palestinians, they must be complete idiots to be fighting one another. As Abba Eban famously put it, the Palestinians have never missed an opportunity to miss every opportunity. 3. The dreams spun at Oslo have been shattered for good. All the stars of this show have died, become weaklings or disappeared from the stage. Challenged by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, Fatah has lost the reins of government and the confidence of its people. The handshakes on the White House lawn and the Nobel Peace Prize have faded away like a dream.
4. Ariel Sharon's unilateral disengagement turned out to be a serious mistake. It gave terror a boost, allowed the Iranians to call the shots in Gaza instead of the Egyptians, fueled anarchy in the Palestinian street and pushed the chances for an agreement even further away.

Ah, Yoel Marcus. He's the guy that Sharon ran to first to sell the disengagement plan to the public. No he says "Ariel Sharon's unilateral disengagement turned out to be a serious mistake. It gave terror a boost, allowed the Iranians to call the shots in Gaza instead of the Egyptians, fueled anarchy in the Palestinian street and pushed the chances for an agreement even further away. "

If he had read "Shiloh Musings" or "Cosmic X" he would have known that the unilateral disengagement is not only a mistake but a crime.

Now the guy who pushed the disengagement has been proven wrong, you might think that he would say to the Israeli public, "I'm sorry". Nope. Being a leftist means never having to say, "I'm sorry."
